Our lesson in church today was about the talk Stay in the Boat and Hold On! by Elder M. Russell Ballard.
- Stay in the boat
Drifting down the river,
I see the calm stretches, but
Warned of the rapids ahead
I stay in the boat.
- Always wear a life jacket
Rowing in sync over white water,
Gratitude hits me at the lack of fear,
From having the safety of a team, and
The reassurance of a life jacket.
- Hold on with both hands.
When others take a turn at the oars
And the river bounces the boat,
It’s holding on with both hands
That turns the fear to joy.
Dont forget to stay in the boat!
When the rapids end and the boat pulls in,
I will be glad, with my crewmates and guide,
To have sailed through life’s rough river
And to end in joy and peace.
